my journey, destination unknown
Saturday I was in pain from having pushed myself too hard at the gym — pulled something in my right arm. But on Sunday? Time to hit the mountain. Phelix and I tried a new-to-us section of trail; he likes new trails, but when he gets close to his trail, he *runs*. We ran into…

As happens when chaos turns back towards routine at our house, I find the time to exercise more and meal plan. We’re tried prescribed meal plans, a true CSA, having camille, plan, shop and cook, a themed meal plan, a customizable farm box, a boxed meal service, and another meal planning service. Sigh. While some…
A couple of weeks ago, I turned 46. Another year has gone by. Not only do I still feel as though I didn’t move ahead enough on my goals, my birthday really brought me down. Low. However, I have moved ahead… What I have managed to accomplish in the past two years makes me proud….
After months of turmoil, things in our house (as opposed to the larger world) seem to be settling down into a bit of a routine. I find myself with time on my hands. Since freeing up some time is a huge piece of my multi-year Happiness Project, I shouldn’t be surprised, but I am. Happily…

It’s been too long. FAR too long. But today the to do list was blissfully short. The girl was in a good mood. The weather was perfect (41 and sunny). My knee didn’t hurt. So off we went. Chloe, Phelix, and I. I forced them into a small detour; I am quite ignorant of the…

My photos of the Abbey do not do it justice. I’d love to go back one day for a retreat!
Back on December 21st, we closed on my Arabia lot. What a mess. The land was disturbed beyond imagination. First step, even if we do nothing else, was to have it graded. What a production.
As mentioned in solving a DOcplex model using a local solver, there are restrictions on the Community Edition of IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio which make it difficult to solve a problem of any real consequence. If you would like to test out some larger optimization problems, you can register for a thirty day free…
Once you have DOcplex installed, it is possible to model your optimization problem. But now, how do you solve your problem? In this post, I will describe one of two choices for solving models, using a local installation of IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio. I will describe the other, using the cloud, in a future…
